The 24-year-old sophomore was one of the Pacers' bright spots despite the series sweep.
The Indiana Pacers' loss to the Boston Celtics last night ended their 2023-24 season in a conference finals sweep. While a sour result, considering there were three games in which Indiana had at least ain the 4th quarter but lost, the fact that they kept pace with the star power of the Celtics for at least 43 of out of the 48 minutes in every game was more than impressive. The Celtics' superior playoff experience simply showed down the stretch of games during the last five minutes.
Nembhard was excellent driving the basketball and putting pressure on the rim. He averaged 15.0 drives and 6.8 field-goal attempts off of drives during the series, both numbers that would've landed in the top 15 among all players in the regular season. Just over a quarter of his shots have come at the rim overall during these playoffs, an area where he's shot 74.5%.
Nembhard showed off his excellent passing ability off of drives as well, diming up teammates time and time again.He was elite as a passer during the Celtics series, especially in his non-Haliburton minutes. He averaged 9.4 assists per 75 possessions in 89 minutes with Haliburton off the court and 7.1 assists per 75 possessions in 50 minutes with him on the court.
